OPENCONTOUR

Mine planning Software for open pit and heap leach mining.

Opencontour is an intuitive application software that helps mining companies develop and optimize the design of their mines.

We are mining engineers who understand the challenges miners face every day. Opencontour helps take the guesswork out of your planning decisions. We created Opencontour from our own experiences with mining software programs that didn't meet our expectations. As a result, Opencontour helps ease the burden of difficult mine planning decisions by measuring cost-benefit scenarios for alternate mine designs and schedules.
